Идея

Идея ничего не стоит без реализации Идеи есть у всех - очень немногие могут их реализовать Первоначальная идея никогда не выживает - нужно наблюдать за рынком и меняться

Прислушиваться, но не слушать Не надо никого слушать - 99% народу скажут, что идея работать не будет Если не верите сами - ничего не получится - должна быть железобетонная непробиваемая уверенность и все получится

Важно ли быть первым на рынке? Первому тяжело - нужно создать рынок для себя (Starbucks) Легче учиться на чужих ошибках на уже созданном рынке Marketplaces - Важно завоевать рынок под себя первым - очень тяжело выбить текущего лидера (ebay, craigslist)

When you reach for the stars you may not quite get one, but you won't come up with a handful of mud either. Leo Burnett

Think BIG

Change the world, make it better Smartling: to be the leading multilingual content creation, management, and delivery ecosystem. Tesla: to accelerate the advent of sustainable transport by bringing compelling mass market electric cars to market as soon as possible. Think BIG mission

FOCUS small

Start small, не надо пытаться все делать сразу Solve one small problem, move to another one FOCUS is paramount!

Dont do a feature Smartling: covers full lifecycle of everything translations o Translation Management System o Global Delivery Network (Proxy solution) o Platform API o Connectors: Adobe CQ, Sitecore, Drupal, etc. o Translators Marketplace o LSP partners

Секретность Секретность не нужна - см. слайд 9 - идея ничего не стоит без реализации Инвесторы с вами подписывать NDA не будут Ваша собственная команда должна четко понимать что вы делаете Вы не Apple!

Что нужно от инвесторов?

Инвесторов нужно интервьюировать o Как они могут помочь найти следующий раунд финансирования? o Как они могут помочь находить клиентов? o Могут ли они познакомить с такими же компаниями для обмена опытом? o Какой у них опыт работы в индустрии или со стартапами? o Как они представляют совместную работу и насколько они будут влиять на то что происходит в команде?

Что ищут инвесторы? Команды которые могут воплотить идеи в действительность Потенциал роста в больших рынках (10x) Хорошие идеи
